School of New York Times Summer Academy?

Hello! I have been looking into the NYT Summer programs, but due to their ~6k cost, I was wondering if I could hear from anyone on here who's attended. Was it worth it in your experience? Or, if you're willing to share, do you how up to what % of financial aid they've given of the tuition cost (for middle class)?
Specifically, I'd love to attend the DC location, so if you went there it'd be great if you could share your thoughts!
Thank you!
